Muthafuckin neighbours. Just copped my first abuse for being "too loud"

But instead of coming and knocking on my door like a gentleman, I get this screaming from underneith my bedroom window..

"HEY CAN YOU TURN THAT FUCKING MUSIC OFF"

Fightened the life outta me.. specially when I turned it down to hear what was going on, to find out it was directed to me.

This means war.

Such abuse from one small man. Couldn't even ask me nicely at my doorstep, had to yell abuse.

Well.... I've already thought about cranking it and then recording the abuse for the track. mwhahah

Ive been lucky with all the flats i have lived in, and trust me I can be a loud neighbour.

Only time I ever had someone come over was a few years back in high st. 4am and we are pumping beats out, and loud knock on the door.

dboy "ok ok ill turn it down dorry about that"
music is down- knocking continues.
dboy "ok sorry, its off, alright?"
knocking continues. I go to the door and open in. THe guy from upstairs is totally hammered (I later learnt he was an alcaholic and was alwayss hammered)
Guy from upstairs "mate, you havings a party, loud eh, sweet, as i always say, if you can't beat 'em join 'em"
took two of my mates to get him out of the place...

Gripe: I'm in a hurry, ped's cross the road 50m from a cross walk, which holds up traffic. I then get to move again, only to stop at the lights where more ped's are crossing.... farkin cross at the cross walk!! Walk the 50m and let people get to where they're going, without having to stop twice! (this happened to me 3 times today

)

Wet day gripe #42:
Coming home in the rain and see your cute little kitty cat after a long day at work, so you pick it up for a big cuddle and get completely covered in wet cat hair

When your sitting in a near empty carriage in a train, and some fucker with sunglasses on go's and sits opposite you.
You can't tell if the dude is staring at you or not, and by the end of the ride you are debating taking his ass out.

Happens to me regularly.

Either that, or someone sitting close to me on a train shits themself.
That's always entertaining.
Messy, but entertaining.

Work Gripe.
I get to work in this bloody weather, to find half the plants that are outside on display fallen over and either broken, or lost all their soil. The clueless bosses pet suck ass girl on before me has just ignored the problem, letting more and more stock be damaged. So i say "these plants need to come in" her: "oh yeah". 5 minutes later, I'm soaked, carrying plant by plant, and she has her bag in hand and says with a big smile "bye! have a good night" WTF?????

What is wrong with people!? Sure your shift may be technically over, but put a little effort in to help out your workmates... help them do the job you should have done hours earlier. As if it just started raining?! BS. So pissed off at her.

And then she calls (all sweetness) "hi annie, can you check what time i'm on tomorrow?" Me: "roster has been taken down" Her: "No it should be there" Me: "No , today is the 2nd of Feb. On the board are rosters 7th through 20th. You should know your shift". Call ends. She then call later :" oh I was working off the dates on the roster, can you change the dates on the stock sheets and on the order i put up? Thank so much annie, have a good night"....

Fuckwit.

^^^ Ahh its all about Karma in the workplace Ani

... dont let it get to u girl, something bad will happen to that chick, no doubt... (or it can... if u want it too...hehehe

)

Ani · Post by **Ani** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 12:57 am

Oh my night just gets better and better by the minute. The awning out the front finally came loose despite our wonderful tying of ribbons to hold it down... and it has caused damage to the old merc out the front which is our display car. So I go out to try to tie it back down, and it knocks me literally flat on my back in all the wonderful puddles. So now I have damaged plants, damaged car, damaged awning and i am soaked from head to foot, with noone to call to bring me dry clothes. And best of all I am here til 8am!! And I think I have lost it.. I am laughing heartily because i don't know what else to do.

Ok, and since writing this, it has come loose twice, and I am completely drenched. This is beyond a gripe.

^ Your job sounds exciting. ^

I dread returning to work, but since I don't get holiday pay, I'm going to have to go back next week.
Shite!

Oh yeah, so that's my gripe - I finish Summer school, and go back to work the next day.

Ah well, I vented to Barry (the bannerman!) when he came in for market and he later told me that he told the boss (owner). So we'll see what comes of it. I was just venting, but it seems she isn't liked by barry or the manager.

Waggers... I don't know about exciting, but I did get to battle gail force winds. I finally found the hook thing that wound up the awning and when I finally got it wound I felt it was very appropriate to shout out a "HAHAHA I WON!! I BEAT YOU!!! I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD" all the while holding the hook pole thing above my head. I really did lose the plot last night!
